Drugs, guns, cash: Two men arrested after person shot, house break in Boston
Boston Police on Wednesday released a photograph of a bust at a Boston home where drugs, a high-capacity feeding device, ammunition and cash were seized, just days after two men were arrested and a third was shot during an apparent house break. Daquan Flowers, 24, of Boston and Don'Quell Mayes, 23, of Stoughton were arrested Sunday night and charged with breaking and entering nighttime for a felony in connection with an incident at a home on Dabney Street, police said Wednesday. Officers recovered multiple paper folds of heroin and crack cocaine from Mayes, who faces additional charges of possession of Class A and possession of Class B, police said. Both men were expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court. The scene unfolded around 10 p.m. Sunday, when police responded to the area of 66 Dabney St. for a report of a breaking and entering in progress. When officers arrived, they saw two people standing in the side yard of 98 Dabney St. wearing masks and holding a black duffle bag, police said. As officers got out of their cruisers, the two people began to 'flee in a full sprint' and officers ran after them on foot. Officers were able to apprehend one suspect in the area of 14 Circuit St., and a second suspect in the area of 61 Walnut Ave., police said. Officers began to canvass the area and found a third person shot on the staircase adjacent to 98 Dabney St. The victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The next day, around 10:37 p.m. Monday, Boston detectives executed a search warrant at 66 Dabney St. There, detectives recovered approximately 1.5 Kilos of crack cocaine, 30 pounds of marijuana, a high capacity feeding device, ammunition, and approximately $16,270 in cash, police said. Officers were able to speak with the victim, and conducted a protective sweep of the building, police said. Video evidence obtained by investigators shows one of the suspects kicking the front door and all three suspects entering the home, police said. Investigators found a discarded Glock magazine capable of holding 30 rounds in front of 66 Dabney St. After reviewing the video, investigators determined that the people detained were the suspects who broke into 66 Dabney St. The victim/third suspect is currently being guarded by officers at a local hospital, police said.

Driver arrested in deadly hit-and-run crash that killed Fisher College student in Boston, police say
A 36-year-old man who is homeless has been arrested in connection with a deadly hit-and-run crash that killed Fisher College student Taylor Wilkinson last month, police said Wednesday night. Christopher Baker was arrested Wednesday night on a warrant on Belvidere Street without incident, police said. Baker will be formally charged in Roxbury District Court on Thursday, police said. He faces the charges of manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide, two counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, and leaving the scene causing personal injury and death. Wilkinson died and a second woman was injured in a hit-and-run crash in Roxbury on Jan. 18 while out with her sister, according to a GoFundMe page set up following her death. Last month, her family and friends vowed to find the driver responsible for hitting Wilkinson and then leaving the scene. 'Our hearts are shattered, but in the face of this devastating loss, we are determined to honor Taylor's memory and fight for justice,' the post read. 'The person responsible for this tragic act—a driver who fled the scene without regard for the life they ended—must be held accountable.' Around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, Boston Police responded to 1829 Washington St. in Roxbury for a report of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. When officers arrived, they found two victims, Wilkinson, 20, with life-threatening injuries and a 23-year-old woman with minor injuries. Both women were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where Wilkinson was later pronounced dead. Police described the vehicle as a 2021–2023, dark-colored Mercedes SUV. The vehicle had damage to its front end and front light and was missing its right-side mirror. News of Wilkinson's death stunned the community, Fisher College President Steve Rich earlier said in a statement to the school community. Wilkinson graduated from the BPS-Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers in June 2023, and she joined the Fisher College community in the fall of the same year, Rich said. 'This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts go out to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her,' Rich said. She was pursuing a bachelor's degree in management with a concentration in fashion merchandising, the college president said. 'She was a bright and valued presence in our college. Her absence will be especially felt by her twin sister,' Rich said. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
